Ok, I have to correct the previous answerer.
Manchuria is the term representing the northeastern part of China which is currently made up by Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang provinces, and part of Inner Mongolia Special District. The reason it is called Manchuria, even though people in China no longer use the term, is because the region is the origin of the Manchus. They are the people who ruled China during the Qing dynasty. (It is also why the official language of China is Mandarin.) Therefore, the region of Manchuria has been part of China for a few hundred years now. There is no such thing as China overtaking it.
In 1911, the last emperor of Qing dynasty was over thrown. However, he wasn't going to give up power easily. So with the help of the Japanese Government, he went back to his root, Manchuria, from Beijing, to resume his empires. And during that time, his government and the "country" he represented is also called Manchuria historically. But it was all over for him when the World War II ended in 1945.
I don't need to say more about trees in Manchuria because the previous answerers have done so. I just want to correct the historical and geographical matter so you are not misled.
cheers...

interesting question. manchuria doesn't officially exist anymore. it was taken over by China and the area is now China's three northeastern-most provinces. if it was still manchuria it would still have lots of trees. the area that used to be manchuria is covered with beautiful forests and tree covered mountains where there are no cities.
